Firmado Reserva Tinto

Description

This Firmado Reserva from the Douro certainly appears to have had a rather… energetic awakening. The promise of “exuberant aromas” is certainly delivered, with a burst of floral notes and black cherry, quickly followed by a concentrated sweetness of cassis. The exotic wood – reminiscent of mahogany – adds an unexpected touch of sophistication. On the palate, the intensity of the red and black fruits is matched by an acidity that keeps it remarkably lively; a delightful pairing with a classic chicken stroganoff, perhaps?
